Hmm so 5 words to describe our music:
energetic, powerful, melodic, meaningful, inspirational

Our inspiration comes from all different spectres of the music industry ranging from the likes of The Beatles right down to Bring Me The Horizon. Not only rock music but pop, hip hop. all sorts really.

What has been your biggest challenge so far?
Our biggest challenge so far has been our Debut Album which is to be released towards the end of the summer. having to write as well as demo and play shows all in-between has been tricky but one HELL of an album is on its way.

If you could choose three artists to be compared with, which three would you choose?
We would like to compare ourselves with the likes of You Me At Six, Bring Me The Horizon, 30 Seconds To Mars We're unsure though,.there are so many awesome bands in the scene at the minute its hard to choose haha.

What's the next step for The Reckless Youth?
Our next step is to finish the album and get it released by the end of the summer, we have a lot coming up show wise as were about to support LESS THAN JAKE. so I guess just play a massive year of shows and record the album really
